New Multi-Threaded Pi Program - Faster than SuperPi and PiFast

[alpha754293]

I just got back to Hong Kong from Egypt.

So apparently, my mom was paranoid about going to Egypt directly from the states. So we went to Hong Kong first, picked up a friend, then took a Cantonese tour from Hong Kong to Egypt disguised as Hong Kong citizens... lol

Speaking of Hong Kong: compared to when I was in China this summer, it feels much better to be in a place where I actually speak the language... (granted, everyone speaks English here anyway...)

I'll be back in the US in a little over a week. I'll update everything then.

You speak Cantonese? Cool!!!

I don't. Well...except for ordering food. But that's funny! LOL. I probably would have agreed with your mother if you were saying going to Iran or something like that. But Egypt shouldn't be THAT bad.

I live in Hong Kong
welcome to Hong Kong

Thanks! Last time I was here was 13 years ago. So it's almost completely new to me.

Ordering food. If you ask me, that's pretty important. It's hard to get around without food.

My Cantonese is native, but not fluent. (It's my first language, but having been in the states all my life, English is obviously my strongest language.)

EDIT:
I wanna learn enough Japanese to go to Japan to meet Shigeru Kondo. From what I've seen/heard, few people in Japan outside of the tourist areas speak English.
Right now, all the Japanese I know is from Anime - which I know is not enough (nor appropriate) to use on the streets.


My mom is kinda afraid of the whole middle east... But I also think it's a little over the top.

The last time that I was in Hong Kong was I think 1994/95. My mom keeps talking about wanting to take me there. *shrug* who knows. I personally, have little to no desire to go.

Cantonese is also technically my native tongue as well, but I grew up in Canada, so, like yourself, English is definitely my strongest language (to the point that there are quite a number of people that think I'm born here).

I ran one of the bigger runs but it came back to 3 errors that were fixed with ECC. So, I don't know. I could try to run them again and see what happens with it.

Most people have no idea I can speak anything else... until I get a call from my mom or something...
Then I make ears bleed with a horrific mix of English and Canto...

Interesting, I rarely see cases where a run will still complete after multiple corrected errors. 1 is common. 2 - I've heard of but not seen myself. 3 - first time.
It usually BSODs or hits an uncorrectable error with that many errors.

Same thing. When asked if I can speak Chinese, my official answer is always "no". But if you hang around me long enough, you will find that that's NOT entirely true. I can, but at a very minimalistic level. Like...kindergarten level. And even then, most of the time, I would respond in English anyways. (It takes me a while to translate it since I think in English). Talking to my grandparents...OMG....GREAT FUN. LOL.

Yayyyyy Chinglish!!! But it's not that surprising for people from Hong Kong though.

I'm re-running it now. Yea, I got a nice little message saying that it ran successfully, but it had 3 errors that it needed to fix itself. I don't have that logfile anymore (because I'm rerunning it), so hopefully I'll have the new results soon. (Maybe like...45 minutes to an hour or so). I want to see if it is going to do it again.

*edit*
25B passed on the second go-around, without error.

Alright, I'm back in the states - jetlagged like hell. I'll get these updated in a bit.

Charts updated.

Just making sure before I place my order. The following are compatible right?

I'll be throwing in my spare GTS 250 and my spare 1000W Corsair PS. (It's probably total overkill, so I might get a lower-end PS and keep the 1000W spare for open-air testing of all my other junk.)

Nothing spectacular. Just enough to OC and play with AVX. I won't be doing any "serious" builds for a while.
Other than that, I'll be using it mainly as a gigabit/esata/usb3 fileserver.
